I don't know how I missed this one (probably because I didn't have an
imperative need fore it?) but there is a program that came out a
couple of weeks ago that allows an OSX machine to mount NTFS
volumes... very handy under certain circumstances, like been given
an errant NTFS disk to try and recover files from and your desktop
computer is a mac.
After some short term testing (couple of hours) it seems stable
enough though no speed demon.
probably best to have the NTFS disk in an external USB or Firewire
drive case and switched off at system startup then power them up at
or after the login screen.
It seems that when an NTFS disk is powered on at or before start up
Mac OS X will stall at the "mounting local drives" stage.
Info here (search for "NTFS support"):

next stage OS X disk tools for NTFS disks? (or is this available
already too?) ;)
